Ratio? Spirulina + Haematococcus Pluvialis

[Shon]

Though I doubt any ratio is printed available online, but let's see if anyone might have any ideas or opinions on this additive mixture.

I'm thinking a mix of 225g spirulina to 20g (5% astaxanthin) haematococcus pluvialis powders. Making the red algae roughly 8% of the mixture to add to various diy foods

The algaes:

Do you think 8% is too little or too much? What do you think would be a good ratio?

Feeding brine shrimp, diy frozen for fresh and salt. Different foods all in all, just this being a piece in each food mix.

The ratio does seem reasonable, but if that product (H. pluvialis) is simply the whole, unprocessed/unextracted cells (cysts), they may not be bioavailable (to humans or fish). The cell wall is very robust and not digestible by animals unless processed. It will turn your food red, but it might not offer the antioxidant/pigment benefits to the fish.

So, cracked cell wall then?
